Which is better, yes? Probably cos you have a wide-ish screen? Yes, we can easily truncate to any length, but… I don’t like it! Cutting an author’s sentence off mid-flow is just wrong. It doesn’t invite click-thrus (imho). It’s just a...

@AgentPete On mobile I see only 1 article now. On my laptop (Mac, safari) I still see 4. I think on WP there is a function to preview say 140 characters, 200 etc. No? I dunno on my articles page Tri-Simulation Quandry : Blog - The Correction I...

"kudos to them for winding down in an orderly way" Absolutely. It's sad, but they sound as if they've been planning this for some time. And they have a good collection of trophies and author prizes to look back on.

Phone shows 1, tablet shows 3 and laptop shows 4. Guess it counts as a large laptop, but all good.

Yeah, I realize I needed to do this. The real estate was indeed being a hog on mobile display. What we’ve got now (I think, subject to testing) is: Large screen: shows 4 most recent articles, 1 rowx4 columns Tablets/laptops/smaller screens(*)...

Yes, they've had a decade of success, and they've got a year to plan the next stages in their careers. Still only in their mid-thirties. Hats off to them.

I suspect we haven’t head the last from this pair, and kudos to them for winding down in an orderly way. They’ll be back, in one form or another… the publishing bug is incurable once contracted :)

Agents rarely carry the can for this sort of thing. Unless they actively participated in / knowingly connived with / the deception in question, they usually aren’t involved. However… I can’t imagine it will do their reputation with the publisher...

LATEST – from today's The Bookseller "Penguin Michael Joseph delays publication of Raynor Winn's next book" The Bookseller said: "Penguin Michael Joseph (PMJ) will delay the publication of The Salt Path author Raynor Winn’s next book, On Winter...

I think in non-PR speak this is saying "There's a bit of a Raynor kerfuffle right now, but it should completely blow over if we back up a year."

I think someone may have done, had to have done, but day-to-day junior staff would keep quiet once the production process was rolling. It was at the acquisition point where the hard questions – does this really sound right? – should have been...

I don't know how much impact this could have in the US. I think we're quite accepting of the fact that everything is made up, from the White House to Hollywood and back. Prime example, the movie Fargo, says "based on true events" at the start of...

Hi Pete! I think it's great to give the articles more of a stage. Apologies I haven't contributed lately, was really busy with my novel website and newsletter. Perhaps I should blog about that...the good, the bad, and the great 😃

There’s this. Not sure how much it clarifies, because it skips over the embezzlement thing. But it’s quite a sound rebuttal. https://www.raynorwinn.co.uk/

So I haven’t read a single word written by Ms. Winn / Walker, but… here are some conjectures... * I assume she’s got some real, natural writing talent. What a shame, then, that things have gone off the rails like this. As Matt says above, they...
